CC -21(b) Mayor Pennino opened the meeting and read the following
statement regarding public input at the "Town Hall"
meetings.
"The reason for these Town Hall meetings is to acquaint the
City Council and the public with every area of City
government, department -by -department.
The City of Lodi --along with every other city in
California --is facing significant revenue shortfalls for
the next fiscal year, and these informal meetings should
give everyone a better picture of what makes up the City
organization and where tax monies are being spent.
These meetings are NOT intended to be public opportunities
for complaints and mean-spirited comments, nor will any
such remarks be tolerated.
The public is invited --and encouraged --to participate in
any discussions.

What
City services
do you (the public) feel
could be reduced or eliminated?
2.
What
ideas do you
have for making the City
more

What
City services
are you willing to pay
more
for in order to
maintain them?
4.
What
City services
are you UNWILLING to see
cut,
no matter what?
It cannot be over -emphasized that the City of Lodi is
facing a real budgetary crisis. It is reasonable to assume
that some jobs will be lost and some City services will be
cut or eliminated altogether.
Since no one has a corner on the market for ideas, the City
seeks a partnership with the public to work together in
resolving this financial crisis in a positive and
professional manner."
Following introduction by the City Manager, Community
Development Director Schroeder presented his report to the
City Council. Mr. Schroeder introduced members of the
Planning and Building staff and members -of both the
Planning Commission and the Site Plan and Architectural
Review Committee who were in attendance at the meeting.
The Mayor opened the meeting to the public. Speaking on
the matter were:
a) Virginia Lahr, 311 East Elm Street, Lodi;
b) Larry Mindt, on behalf of the Planning
Commission; and
c) Leonard Bull, on behalf of the Site Plan and
Architectural Review Committee.
ADJOURNMENT Mayor Pennino announced the upcoming schedule of Town Hall
meetings and following further discussion adjourned the
